There is no point for BAM to ask Misbun to stay if he said he is not happy there

Yes, Misbun has tendered his resignation but it is not necessarily legally binding or final as there are procedures and channels for resignations to be formally followed before any resignation is binding. Also any resignation should be formally accepted by BAM to be final. BAM is a legal entity and it would have in place a procedure for resignations by players, coaches, and BAM staff and officials. There are such a thing as pre quit notice, certain period of advance information and other conditions including buy-out or early termination compensation, etc.

My take on this is that Misbun should go his own way and if LCW wants to go with him then let it be. This is the best solution as it will allow MS and LCW to go it alone and at the same time will not embarrass BAM if they are forced to accept Misbun's terms they deem not to be in the national interest in the long term or as a matter of principle.

Also, I don't think Misbun intended to embarrass BAM when he tended his resignation. In fact, I think he should be the one feeling embarrassed when he needed to resign.

I like this one more,lol : Sports association who are governed by reps from state association sometimes do not change with the times. Some policy makers themselves have never produced international level players. They make decision according to their limited experience. Without exposure to new situations, sometimes decisions made are not in line with new developments (in sport)

Misbun is very passionate in what he is doing, in particular about LCW and his son. But sometimes his desire/wish may pose very serious potential problem for the country and national interest without even realizing it. Were he to get what he feels strongly about his son the impact it will have on 'the rule of law' re BAM and the morale on the other coaches (Hendrawan, etc) will have long lasting adverse consequences.
Now that a minister is involved it is too late. Ministers get in the act for political reasons and BAM is under political pressure. Let us see if BAM has the guts to do the right thing.
Make no mistake about what I think about Misbun. I think he is a great coach, extremely capable, dedicated, and passionately about his charges. But he is a loner, an eccentric best suited to an advisory role and never in a supervisory or managerial role.
He is best in the role that the 'Thing' is to Lin Dan today, as mentor and coach. Advisors are specialists with no supervisory role and can even be rewarded more than a director in a corporation.

he himself admitted managerial role is not for him accept on the court with the players,

that what he wants in his life

he likes to help people, players and even coaches because he loves badminton.

Agak malang bagi Chong Wei dilahirkan sezaman dengan Lin Dan.
Lin Dan merupakan pemain badminton yang cukup ampuh yang pernah ditemui setakat ini.
Sekiranya Chong Wei bukan sezaman dengan Lin Dan, sudah tentu semua kejohanan dimonopolinya. It is unfortunate that LCW is born same era as LD. LD is a great player of all time, so far. If LCW is not same era as LD, he would have won more touranments.

Chris@ccc will like this article. Seems the reporter also read BC. Sorry for all the typo.

I am happy that the reporter has an open mind.

To me BAM is to promote Badminton in Malaysia. In other words, BAM is to do whatever they can to make Badminton popular in Malaysia.

To allow patriotic LCW to go independent is a good thing. He can earn much more money on his own now (now that he is world famous). Patriotic? Yes, LCW said he will represent Malaysia even after he leaves BAM (Very similar to what Taufik Hidayat is doing in Indonesia)

But as I have said in my previous posts, LCW has to be thankful to BAM for getting him arriving at his current situation.

BAM shouldn't tie him down; LCW should be set free as a player who can now look after himself (as compared to my post about good university students not to be tied down by university after graduation).

LCW has complained about BAM before

If BAM were to cave in it could mean its collapse as other coaches will start to question "why Misbun, not us?" and will bring BAM into disrepute for being double standard favouring Prima Donas at the expense of the national interest.
I feel the best solution is to bite the bullet and let Misbun and LCW if he so chooses go.
BTW, why is LCW giving people the impression that he is still incapable of being No. 1 without Misbun? Now what happens to LCW should Misbun be not be around? Isn't he a man onto to himself who cannot function without his mentor?

.
LCW is a not a demanding person. I don't think that he is trying to "influence" BAM to meet Misbun's demands.

In fact, LCW has complained about BAM before. He said something like this - BAM is only happy when I win; But when I failed to win, they do not appreciate how much effort I have put in to try to win for Malaysia.

I am sorry, tan. I think I did not word my previous post properly as I was not my usual self. Thank you for not over-reacting over my seeming rude post.

My point is, those people from the management do not have the leadership to lead the organization and they said things at the wrong time. It has been mentioned a few times before that Ramdan's case wasn't the issue that caused Misbun to walk out. If this was the case, Ramdan would not have return and train under Hendrawan.

It sounds like a lot of committee members do not want Misbun to stay. Looks like LCW and Misbun departure from BAM is inevitable. Unless the sport minister can prove me wrong.

title : If Misbun resigned because of his son, he is not prioritizing national interest

Not wonder is so tiring working with this bunch of people. Just after the public have said that the Ramdam's issue is not the cause of his resignation. The Zhang Ting Zhu was trying to stir things up again by putting all the blame on Misbun. The act of exagerating the reason behind Misbun's resignation to divert public's attention is akin to an underbelt attack in martial art, freaking dirty. Now I can see why Misbun is not happy with this bunch of people. And the highlight of the year should go to this guy: If you won a championship in B level state competition then you are considered knowledgable in competitive badminton? Wow, I guess I will submit my application as an elite coach to BAM, maybe I have a chance if it was this Zhang Ting Zhu who interviewed me. LOLs.

It's the same article in malay, the BAM exco or Treasurer, already posted either in this thread or Misbun quit thread.. Then, another one also said Let Misbun go, blah blah. At least 3 committee members in total, including the Vice President.

It has been mentioned many times before that what Misbun Sidek and Lee Chong Wei have done for Malaysia wasn't fully appreciated by BAM. Appreciation was only given when LCW won a title/medal.

When this resignation of Misbun and the win of Lee Chong Wei at the 2010 SSMF happened at the same time, I wonder if Misbun received any credit from BAM for LCW's good performance.

LCW has given appreciation to Misbun (as reported earlier when he mentioned that Misbun was in touch with him via phone throughout the whole tournament).
